You'd think the go-to workflow for releasing redacted PDFs would be to draw black rectangles and then rasterize to image-only PDFs :shrug:

As someone who's built an entire business on "anti-screenshots" this is brilliant.

PDF redaction fails are everywhere and it's usually because people don't understand that covering text with a black box doesn't actually remove the underlying data.

I see this constantly in compliance. People think they're protecting sensitive info but the original text is still there in the PDF structure.

often times you will have requirements that the documents you release be digitally searchable and so in these cases, this would not be an option
